DENVER (Reuters) - The city of Denver has agreed to pay a disabled veteran who sued police after he was beaten unconscious by an officer who has been accused repeatedly of using excessive force, the victim's lawyer said on Wednesday.
The terms of the proposed settlement between the city and James Moore have not been made public because the agreement has yet to be approved by Denver City Council, said Moore's lawyer, David Lane.
A spokeswoman for Mayor Michael Hancock said the city cannot comment on the case because the deal is not finalized.
Moore says in a federal lawsuit that he was "hog tied," beaten and clubbed by officers Shawn Miller and James Robledo in 2008 after they responded to a noise complaint at his Denver apartment.
He accused the pair of attacking him without provocation after he asked them what was going on.
The officers "beat Mr. Moore with such brutality while he was helpless on the ground that he lost consciousness, his heart stopped beating and paramedics or law enforcement officers had to administer CPR to save his life," the complaint said.
Lane said Miller has been the target of more than three dozen citizen complaints, and that he has been sued in federal court at least three times.
"Shawn Miller is one of the most violent officers on the Denver force and should not only be fired but prosecuted," the lawyer said.
Denver Police Commander Matthew Murray told Reuters that Miller has never had an excessive force complaint against him upheld after each of the cases was reviewed by the city's independent police monitor.
"I'm not defending or indicting him (Miller), but you have to look at the facts of each case," Murray said of the 10-year veteran of the force.
After the Moore case is finalized, the department will open up Miller's entire complaint file for the public to see, the commander added.
Lane said the city paid $220,000 to settle another excessive force lawsuit relating to a 2008 incident in which Miller was accused of breaking the kneecap of a man after the pair got into a verbal altercation.

Scientific Games announces Doug Albregts as new boss of gaming
Thursday, 17 May 2018 06:58
Scientific Games Corporation has continued its senior management overhaul with the announcement of Doug Albregts as its new EVP and Group CEO of the Gaming Division, taking over from Derik Mooberry.
Albregts joins Scientific Games from Sharp Electronics Corporation of America, where he was President and CEO of Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America as well as President, CEO and Chairman of Sharp Electronics America.
His arrival comes just two weeks after the company announced that current SG Interactive boss Barry Cottle will replace Kevin Sheehan as President and CEO from 1 June 2018. It also announced Tim Bucher, previously SVP and GM of the Consumer Solutions Group at Seagate Technology, as its new EVP and Chief Product Officer across all Scientific Games business divisions.
As Group CEO of the Gaming Division, Albregts will oversee Scientific Games' product development, production, supply chain and sales of the company's gaming products, systems and services. Mooberry will stay with Scientific Games as EVP for Strategic Projects.
"Given Scientific Games' diverse range of industry leading products and services, we are very excited that we will be bringing Doug's deep experience managing a wide range of high-tech businesses and driving innovation across product lines to lead the gaming division," said Cottle.
"Doug's proven success at top-notch global technology companies will help us lead the industry in innovation and enable us to execute our growth strategies. I also want to acknowledge Derik Mooberry for his service and leadership at our company and within our industry. We're looking forward to continuing to work with him."
Albregts said, "I am excited to join Scientific Games as Barry Cottle becomes the new CEO and all of SG is poised to continue to lead the industry.
"My passion for driving innovation, promoting operational excellence and executive leadership skills, and developing cutting-edge commercial technology will enable me to hit the ground running, executing our growth strategies and continuing our momentum as a company."

The Purpose of The Ego
Question from a reader:
The pop culture definition of "ego" tends to have negative connotations. What we really mean when we talk about someone being egoic is that they have an inflated ego.
"I've been considering writing a blog for over 5 years. One of the largest questions I ask is: what makes what I have to say so special that warrants a blog. This concern feels like what you describe as the (spiritual) "ego" but I'm also curious about the role of the ego in terms of how society/pop culture use the term. So my question is: what is the role/relationship of (pop culture) ego with (spiritual) ego?"
From a spiritual perspective, the ego can also have some negative connotations associated with it, but I think a lot of that comes from the demonization of it from a pop culture standpoint. If we strip all of that away, the ego is simply a thing – it is neutral. Neither good nor bad.
From one of my previous blog posts:
I define the ego as a personality construct of sorts, a persona or an identity that we develop for ourselves. The ego is complex and it's made up of a series of beliefs that we hold about ourselves and who we are, many of which are shaped by outside forces as we develop as children. The ego is the totality of our conscious self. It is how we see ourselves. This is the Jungian view of the Ego, wherein it is only a small part of the total self – in essence, the part of yourself that is fully known to you. The part that is NOT fully known to you, Jung calls the shadow self. – What's in a Self? Soul, Personality & Ego
To be human is to have an ego. We wouldn't truly be human without it. The ego is the mechanism through which we are able to see ourselves as an individual, unique person. It's what helps create the illusion of separation from all that is, and gives us the opportunity for experience here in the physical plane. Through the ego we get to decide who we want to be.
But back to the inflated ego…
When someone refers to another as egoic, they are really referring to an ego construct a person has created to overcompensate for their perceived shortcomings.
At the end of my blog post on addiction and shame I talk about how each of us has multiple personas: Our true self, our inner false persona and our external false persona.
We often believe that our true self isn't good enough. That belief, in and of itself, creates a false inner-persona – a skewed view of self. This is the deflated ego. Some people are so resistant to that false view of self that they create yet another persona – a false outer persona – to try and compensate for their initial false perception. The false outer persona tries extra hard to be the opposite of the false inner persona. This is the inflated ego.
But as I mentioned above, the ego is not inherently good or bad. It's a necessary part of the self. So what we must do is work our way through the false inner and outer personas to reach the true self, and in that process we begin to reshape the ego into something that is more closely aligned to our true self. This is what we mean when we talk about alignment and it's the process that I facilitate for my clients in my Core Alignment Mentorship Program.

I finally feel like I belong here./
Nine months ago, we said goodbye to our life in Cambodia and made the enormous jump back into America. It's had its ups and downs, its moments of culture shock and awkward conversations. The first several months were stressful, especially now looking back on the cold winter months filled with a sick, sleepless, croupy baby, trying to settle into a home while adjusting to a new job, and feeling like strangers at our church and in our neighborhood.
But several months in, I can say I finally feel like I belong here. And that's a feeling I don't take for granted. A life overseas rarely gives you that sense of belonging. I had long stretches of life in Cambodia where I felt like a local - I knew my way around the market, I had local friends, I could speak the language. And then something would happen that flipped my world upside down and reminded me that I really didn't belong there. Maybe it was a Cambodian friend's reaction to a situation that was completely foreign to my own. Or it was dealing with an immigration crisis that would never happen in America. Whatever it was, reminders always existed that I was an outsider in someone else's home.
And I felt that way for a long time here, too. It was difficult to find my footing in friendships again. New people overwhelmed me, and I struggled to reconnect with people I hadn't seen for months. But we kept trying. We committed to a small group at our church a few months back, even though the idea of explaining to strangers what my life had been for the past three years terrified me. When someone asked me to coffee or lunch, I said yes, almost always. We spent countless hours with our families, reconnecting with their lives and joys and struggles and pains in intimate ways that only family can allow.
And all the awkwardness and late nights and juggling of schedules was worth it. God has been so gracious to give us new relationships to grow in and new ways of serving in our community. We've met others who have survived the transition from life overseas to life in KC and can show us how to do it. Our church family has been walking with us, helping us adjust to a family that has grown from about 500 to over 2,000 (which is basically like attending a new church!).
We see people we know in line at the local cafe, or shopping at Aldi, or chasing their kids at the library. Church services find us talking with old friends and meeting new ones. The loneliness that chased us as newly repatriated expats is no more. We don't feel like strangers in our hometown anymore.
If you are in the same boat - struggling with transition - hang in there. That feeling of belonging? It does come eventually. But only if you focus fully on being present right where you are. Moving is always a grieving process of leaving the familiar and comfortable and opening yourself to something new that isn't always the same as what you left behind. And community can be the hardest thing to rebuild.
But stick with it. God sees your loneliness and wants to meet that deep longing for relationships. He may take you through a season where he is all you have - and that is hard and sweet and life changing. And he may challenge you to take the first step towards building new relationships. But he is always faithful and always there for you.
Have you ever felt the same way? What ideas do you have for encouraging someone in the middle of transition?

Do you think you know all there is to know about making videos that will be viewed on a moblie device? If so, check out the post below and see if there is anything more you can learn.
In modern times, more and more people are using mobile phones not only to make calls, for short message services, but also to watch videos. It is estimated that over 60 percent of people these days use their phones to watch videos. If you want to make mobile phone videos, you must ensure that you put all the factors into consideration in order to make sure your video gets a high number of views. Below are some great tips for making mobile phone videos.
Keep the video short
One of the greatest mistakes you can make while developing a mobile phone video is making them long. Most people do not like very long videos because they might not have the time to watch them. Most of them might watch the video while travelling, waiting in line, between meetings and others times when they just get an opportunity. If your video runs for several minutes, viewers will not be interested and will not download it. In addition, they will not share it with their friends. So overall, your video should be as short as possible.
Consider the size of the video
It might seem very obvious, but most people ignore this tip. It is good to remember that mobile screens are smaller compared to those of desktops. You should make your graphics and shots simple. It is good that you avoid texts and if you must use any text, make sure that it is big and bold so that your viewers do not strain as they watch your video in different mobile phone models.
Speak clear and loud
It might be tricky to create audio for your video. Your viewers might not always be in a place where they can listen to your video easily. They might be in a noisy place or listening to it through low quality speakers or headphones. If you need to reach a large audience, make sure that your video is clear enough to be heard over any background noise. Invest in a high quality microphone to make it easy to understand the audio without straining.
Make use of all your tools
Mobile videos have a lot of benefits because there are a lot of tools that you can use to share and film the video. To reach a large audience, make sure that you make use of all the available tools in the most appropriate manner. Higher quality and professional tools can be used in filming short and scripted videos.
Share your video
It will be of no use if you develop mobile phone videos, but fail to share them. It is by sharing your video that it will be easy for it to get high levels of exposure to your target audience and even many others. There are different video sharing platforms you can utilize to make sure that your video reaches a large audience. YouTube is the most used platform and has the ability to help your video reach a lot of viewers and be shared among them.
Video marketing is a powerful too, and is something that most business owners don't understand. If you can learn to master this exploding area of photography, you are sure to earn a good income from it.
We would welcome your comments or ideas on this subject. Please get in touch and lets exchange ideas. Meanwhile, watch the video below for some great tips.

FindYourStampsValue.com hurries to inform our readers that Stampex will open its doors once more on Wednesday 16th September.
Stampex is free of charge and open to the philatelic community and indeed anyone at all interested in stamps, postal history and other related items. Come and visit this exciting philatelic show and you will be amazed by the variety of items on offer there.
Stampex is a bi-annual British stamp show held at The Business Design Centre (BDC) in Islington, London, every Spring and Autumn. The show is organized by the Philatelic Traders' Society (PTS) through their company Stampex and has been running for almost 60 years.
The show consists mainly of stands of stamp dealers who are members of the PTS but specialist philatelic societies regularly hold meetings at The BDC in conjunction with the show.
Other important parts of the show include a youth area run by the Stamp Active Network and a large stand from Britain's Royal Mail where recent British stamp issues are on sale.
There is no other regular national show competing with Stampex in the UK, although many smaller shows take place and an FIP endorsed international show takes place in London every ten years, with the next being the London 2020 International Stamp Exhibition.
The name has been adopted for stamp shows in other countries, for instance Hong Kong Stampex and Adelaide Stampex, however, none are connected with the British version.
FindYourStampsValue.com decided to interview the organisers of Autumn Stampex 2015 and ask them what the stamp collectors should expect during this philatelic show. The answers were provided by Lucie Warren – PTS Secretary & Stampex Manager.
FindYourStampsValue.com: What are the greatest challenges you have faced while organizing this show?
- There are many stand holders from across the globe to co-ordinate but we overcome this by maintaining good working relationships and communication with our members and suppliers. The venue is very familiar with this show as it has been there for such a long time.
FindYourStampsValue.com: How many philately lovers are expected to visit the Autumn Stampex 2015?
- Stampex generally welcomes around 6,500 visitors per show. We hope this will increase by encouraging younger generations to begin stamp collecting.
FindYourStampsValue.com: What plans do you have to allure more well-known stamps dealers and auctions houses, in particular from abroad?
- We have a lot of projects going on to make it easier for more international dealers to exhibit at Stampex currently. Stand hire prices are also very reasonable and entry to the show is completely free so we hope that this encourages exhibitors to take stands.
FindYourStampsValue.com: What is unusual about the Autumn Stampex 2015? Are some rare items expected?
- There is always a large variety of items to be expected from dealers and auction houses and no two shows are ever the same! Stampex always produces a souvenir Smilers Sheet for each specific show and a free postcard is available for all visitors. There are also National Exhibits on display and for this show these will be run by Great Britain Overprint Society who is also featuring a UK Regional Federations Competition.
FindYourStampsValue.com: Thank you for your answers. Hopefully, your exhibition will become more and more popular and will have a great international success.
- Thank you for featuring this much loved philatelic show. We look forward to seeing you all there!

Next time you have a craving for something crunchy and salty that's dipped into something cold and creamy, try these chips made from zucchini!!! They're seasoned and baked until crisp with spices that you can choose to make them sweet or spicy !
Then they get dunked into a cool, tangy yogurt dip, which provides the protein to make this snack completely balanced. For crispy chips, you need to cut your zucchini very thin. This is where a mandoline slicer comes into play. If you don't have one, no worries, a very sharp chef's knife will work.
Zucchini serves as a good source of vitamin C. A water-soluble antioxidant, vitamin C dissolves in your body fluids and protects your cells from free radicals.
Zucchini also provides you with lutein and zeaxanthin, two phytonutrients that belong to the carotenoid family, which is the same nutrient family that includes beta-carotene, a source of vitamin A. Lutein and zeaxanthin promote healthy eyesight. They filter light rays as they enter your eye, helping to ensure that harmful rays can't damage your eye tissues.
Zucchini is effective for weight management due to its healthy combination of high fiber and moisture content and a low calorie content.It controls your appetite by filling you up with water and fiber. Thus, you can have larger servings of zucchini and still keep your caloric intake low.The high dietary fiber enables you to shed extra pounds as it helps to burn more calories than you consume.
Zucchini is a rich source of antioxidants, Vitamin A and C and dietary fiber, you can effectively lose weight by consuming it without depriving your body of vital nutrients.
Zucchini Chips
Makes 2 generous servings
1 zucchini
¼ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
pinch cayenne pepper
pinch sea salt
1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil, melted
½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
juice and zest of 1 lime
¼ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
pinch cayenne pepper
pinch sea salt
1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil, melted
½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
juice and zest of 1 lime
Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
Slice the zucchini on a mandoline or very thinly with a chef's knife.
Mix the spices and melted coconut oil in a large bowl. Add the vegetable slices and toss to coat. Place the vegetable slices on the sheet pans in rows, next to each other but not overlapping.
Bake for one hour.
After an hour, if the zucchini looks lightly golden, remove from oven.
Let cool.
Meanwhile, combine the Greek yogurt, lime juice and zest in a bowl. Place in the refrigerator until vegetables are cool.
Serve vegetables with dip. Leftovers will keep for a few days in a sealed container.

Uber is a month into its 180 Days of Change and showing signs that it's listening to its drivers and customers.
In June, the ride-sharing company announced it would allow customers to tip drivers. Prior to the announcement that was a major division between Uber and its major competitor, Lyft. Uber didn't encourage tipping and it definitely wasn't a function in the app.
That changes today. In an email sent to Uber's Fresno drivers, the company says the app has been updated to accept tips, which drivers can cash at any time using Instant Pay.
The company is celebrating the rollout by matching all tips given out tomorrow (hint, hint).
At least one rider is bemoaning the change (for comedic effect), saying his days as a "ride-hailing cheapskate are over." Locally, Uber tipping has proven to be a point of contention, though less so than the fact its drivers won't pick you up at the airport.

Written By Chuck McAuley And Presented By Charles Leaver Ziften CEO
Endpoint Security Is The Best Friend For Adult Friend Finder
Adult Friend Finder, an online "dating service" and its affiliates were hacked in April. The leaked information included credit card numbers, usernames, passwords, dates of birth, physical addresses and personal – you know – preferences. Exactly what's typically not highlighted in these cases is the financial value of such a breach. Many would argue that having an email address and the associated data might be of little worth. Nevertheless, the same way metadata collection offers insight to the NSA, this type of information offers opponents with lots of leverage that can be used against the general public. Spear phishing ends up being a lot easier when assailants not just have an email address, however likewise area, language, and race. The source IP addresses gathered can even supply exact street locations for attacks.
The attack methodology deployed in this example was not publicized, however it would be fair to presume that it leveraged a kind of SQL Injection attack or similar, where the info is wormed out of the back-end database through a flaw in the web server. Another possible methodology could have been pirating ssh keys from a jeopardized admin account or github, however those tend to be secondary for the most part. Either way, the database dump itself is 570 megabytes, and presuming the data was exfiltrated in a couple of big transactions, it would have been extremely obvious on a network level. That is, if Adult Friend Finder were using a solution that offered visibility into network traffic.
Ziften ZFlow ™ enables network visibility into the cloud to catch aberrant data transfers and credit to specific executing processes. In this case, the administrator would have had two opportunities to discover the irregularity: 1) At the database level, as the data was extracted. 2) At the webserver level, where an abnormal amount of traffic would be sent to a particular address. Organizations like Adult Friend Finder should acquire the essential endpoint and network visibility needed to protect their consumers' individual data and "hook up" with a company like Ziften.

Samsung Phones are now renowned as the biggest brand and are damn cool with a ll the mobile phone networks. Most of these phones either work under Bada Operating system or under Android OS.
Here you can plenty of applications which are totally great and are quite useful as well like the facilities present with Samsung's latest Samsung Galaxy S2 which is upgraded with so many high profile specialties. You can also have it for free through the contract deal in which the payment of the mobile phone bills is at the last of the month.
So finally Samsung Galaxy Phones have snatched the number one brand's crown from Nokia. Now the mobile world is totally under the sublimation of Android phones which are the main arms of Samsung Phones. This is one of the biggest achievement which Samsung has encountered by eradicating the 14 years of heritage of Nokia Phones. Success story of this Korean company is not just one day's story, the brand has made extra efforts to reach upto this point. But it's legs were outstretched with the success of Samsung Galaxy S which is one of the biggest selling mobile phone of the year 2011. You yourself can see the number of users of this handset which is till now increasing day by day. And the latest story is about the Samsung galaxy S2 which right now is ranked as the top mobile phone with certain great features which are just incomparable.
Here with Samsung galaxy S2 people can have lots and lots of features which are damn good like the camera present in this is of 8 mega pixel with full HD resolution video capturing facility along with the 2 mega pixel of secondary camera through which video calls and video chats are possible. As far as the screen of the phone is concerned it's made up of Super AMOLED technology with the wideness of 4.3 inches. The OS used in this is Google's Android one with Ginger bread version which is the main factor in its popularity.
These phones are with the Bada OS as well like the Samsung Wave II S 8530 which is one of the commendable handset with various features which are damn cool like the camera which is of 5 mega pixel and with brilliant LED flash (however the camera is not capable in capturing the instant pictures). Samsung Galaxy Mini is you can say is the mini version of Samsung Galaxy S and if the higher one is not under your budget you can own this one. Even certain things in this are better then the former one.

December proved to be our most successful month of 2013. However January 2014 has started at break neck speed. With collections coming on a worldwide basis. We can report an early success in the United Arab Emirates and congratulations to our team located in that area. A number of other international collections are due to come to a satisfactory conclusion in the next couple of weeks.
We have also experienced success closer to home with recovery coming from a number of business sectors.
It has been noted by our collection team that 'Bad Tenant Debt' is very much on the increase. If you are a Landlord, keep a very close eye on your tenants. It is difficult debt to collect, as the tenant often does a runner and that's the last you see of them. Then the problem becomes expensive as we have to find the debtor before there can be any hope of recovering your money.
If you think you have a slow on non-payer, why not give us a call: Free phone 0800 009 6090

Obama taps NYC health commissioner to head CDC
May 14, 2009
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) _ President Barack Obama on Friday will name Dr. Thomas Frieden as director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, administration officials told The New York Times.
Health experts say the CDC needs to make immediate improvements in employee morale and organization as the Obama administration works to overhaul the national health care system.
"I think the administration selected Tom Frieden because he can take public health to a new place," Jeffrey Levi, executive director of Trust for America's Health, a nonprofit public health advocacy organization, told The Times. "He's a transformational leader."

NASCAR may be typecast as a blue collar sport; then again, based on the first five races of the 2016 season, its fans are part of the privileged class, with the latest race at Auto Club Speedway delivering another Hollywood ending. So far, so good.
Once maligned as perhaps the least exciting "cookie-cutter" circuit on the schedule, Auto Club Speedway continued its resurgence of sensational finishes over the past five years, with "superman" Jimmie Johnson, driver of the Lowe's #48 Chevy, snatching an electrifying overtime victory from Kevin Harvick in the final restart.
At the start of 2016 Auto Club 400, anticipation was sky high that the worn, wide track with multiple grooves and long sweeping corners would deliver compelling theatre, and the race did not disappoint.
Jimmie Johnson soared to the front on the final restart with a power move, but he sowed his victory seeds much earlier in the race. Qualifying 19th, Johnson spent most of the day working up through the field, searching around the race track to uncover incremental speed.
Conversely, I studied Kevin Harvick's line throughout the race, where he stuck to the high side near the wall, thereby carrying great momentum out of the turns while leading a race-high 142 of 200 laps. Harvick's car was locked on rails and rock steady on long green flag runs, such that he did not have to vary his line much given the speed he was carrying.
On the final restart with the front contenders all sporting fresh rubber, Johnson restarted third — on the inside row — and pushed Kevin Harvick into the lead and then dove low to take the top spot and hold off Harvick in the high line once he completed the pass. Not surprisingly, Johnson last lap time was his fastest of the race.
Aside from the surprising finish, the supreme takeaway is that fans are discussing what happened on the track, rather than being relegated to discussing off-track drama (such as restart rules or post-race UFC sessions in the hauler lot).
Why was the day so good? Because auto racing enthusiasts, including those in the packed grandstands who were on their feet for a majority of the race, got most everything you could ask from a race:
- 26 lead changes among 8 different drivers. But that was only part of the story. Many cars raced side by side for several laps as drivers who were passed looked for opportunities to return the favor. We had comers and goers throughout the field, and FOX Sports actually put its split screens to use by showing simultaneous races for position during course of the TV broadcast.
- Despite immense effort, TV doesn't always do justice to capturing all the action on the track as compared to being in the stands. Early in the race, one sequence I found fascinating was the back and forth battle between Aric Almirola and Kyle Busch for position within the top 10. Over the course of several laps, Busch would pass Almirola by drafting low off the front straight before the entry to Turn 1, while Almirola would return the favor by passing Busch with a sweeping arc out of Turn 4.
- As another illustration, with 38 laps to go and 3 laps into a restart, we had six top drivers (Harvick, Johnson, Logano, Edwards, Keselowski, and Hamlin) still fanning out with different lines through the middle of Turn 4 and within three car lengths of each other. Listening to the in-car audio, you could hear drivers gingerly feathering the throttle throughout the corners while fighting for grip, showing they had their hands full with the low downforce package.
- Many cars had a "Darlington" stripe on the right side from scraping the wall, except for the fact that they were running at Fontana. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. delivered a solid 5th place finish (his best finish since Bristol last spring), but his sponsors might request a credit given that he rubbed their logos off the right side of his car from working the fence.
- Danica Patrick and Kasey Kahne will likely no longer swap pleasantries after their scuffle during the race. Kahne made contact with the rear of Patrick's car after swerving down from the high side of the front straight, sending her hard into the outside wall. Patrick questioned the authenticity of the move, given she was completing a pass and generally holding her line into the upcoming corner and the fact that Kayne was a lap down by position, while Kahne contended he had no illicit intent. Kayne, for what it's worth, seems to have lost his way out on the track, and has become the opaque horse in the Hendrick team stable.
- Joey Logano, driver of the Team Penske #22 Ford, continues to not make any friends in the Toyota camp. Adding to his previous dust-ups with Toyota drivers' Denny Hamlin at Auto Club Speedway in 2013 as well as the on-track theatrics with Matt Kenseth last year, Logano allegedly took the air off the rear bumper of Martin Truex Jr. on the rear straight on lap 151 while both were inside the top 10, loosening him up and sending him into the wall. It was unclear whether there was contact between the two, but each driver had their own viewpoint. Regardless, add Truex Jr. to the growing list of drivers stating their intent to race Logano "differently" from now on.
- Kyle Larson had a violent wreck on the backstretch on Sunday, reminding us of the ever present risk of this sport, with a straight-on impact that crushed the front end and lifted his #42 Chevy off all four wheels after a tire went down. While dramatic, the benefits of recently installed SAFER barriers along entire length of the Speedway's front stretch & back stretch walls was evident as Larson walked away from the crash.
- Rookies showcased a bright future. Chase Elliott ran as high as 2nd prior to the final caution flag, while still managing to finish 6th after slipping during the final restart. Ryan Blaney also ran in the top 10 until a blown tire ruined his day.
Since hosting its first NASCAR race in 1997, Auto Club Speedway has not required a repave, having aged to be one of the gems of NASCAR's Spring West Coast swing. One can only dream that track owner International Speedway Corporation never needs to repave Auto Club Speedway. With strong momentum, NASCAR now heads to the heart of several short tracks in April, resuming in Martinsville on April 3rd after the Easter break.

HOME > Road Test: RICOH PJ WUL5670
August 4, 2017,
Lumens: 5200 Resolution: 1920x1200
The hidden HDMI port and USB A port for powering a dongle, along with the thumbwheel controls for vertical and horizontal lens shift, are behind a small push-to-release door on the front of the projector, just to the right of the lens as viewed from the front. Intake vents cover most of the left side as viewed from the front, with the exhaust vents covering most of the right side.
Lab Tests: What the Meters Say
Brightness. We measured the WUL5670's center spot brightness at 5326 lumens, just a touch higher than the 5,200 lumen rating. The ANSI lumen measurement was 5006 lumens, or 96% of the rating. The slightly lower measurement for ANSI lumens is expected, since it is based on measurements at nine points and is affected by any variation in brightness uniformity. The ANSI lumens for each color mode using Normal and Eco power settings is as follows:
Low Lamp Mode. Eco lamp mode is about 71% as bright as Normal mode, which is still bright enough for many large rooms.
Presentation Optimized Lumens. The WUL5670 offers vibrant color for business graphics even in its brightest mode with default settings, making its brightest mode its Presentation-optimized mode as well at 5,006 ANSI lumens. Bright mode has a slight green bias, but far less than is typical for the brightest mode in most projectors and little enough to be a non-issue for graphics and many photos. For presentations that rely heavily on photos or video clips, however, Standard mode with default settings gives the best compromise between brightness and realistic-looking color, at 4,149 ANSI lumens.
Video Optimized Lumens. For film and video, sRGB mode delivers the best image quality, at 3,520 ANSI lumens. You can also adjust settings for improved color accuracy without affecting brightness.
Zoom Lens Effect on Brightness. The 1.8x zoom lens curtails light by about 32%, dropping the brightness to 68% of the level with the full telephoto setting, for 3,111 ANSI lumens in Bright mode.
Brightness Uniformity. The 83% brightness uniformity is just low enough to see in a solid white image, with the left and right sides just a touch cooler than the center and a broad central area near the bottom a little hotter. However, the difference is impossible to see with any text, graphics, of photo that breaks up the field of view.
Input Lag. The input lag in all preset modes was 82 ms.
On-board audio. The two 10-watt stereo speakers deliver more than acceptable sound quality and easily enough volume to fill a mid-size room.

Last week was Spring Break and we went up to the mountains. Our friends lent us their wonderful cabin to stay in, up in Arnold. We love it there! The weather wasn't ideal – overcast and rainy, then snowy and then finally, on the very last day, sunshine! But we packed in some great stuff.
On Friday, it was raining pretty steadily. I logged a few wet miles running and then in the afternoon we went hiking along the Arnold Rim Trail. The ART is a 12-mile trail through the wilderness that snakes down the mountain to Avery. We planned a 5.5 mile loop to San Antonio Falls. We put on all our waterproof clothes and set out hiking.
I have to be honest, I am not comfortable in the wilderness but I know it's good to be out of my comfort zone. As we hiked deeper and deeper into the forest, I tried not to think of Mama Bears who might be out of hibernation and looking for food for their babies. We whistled a lot, sang a lot and made a lot of noise. The trail was indeed beautiful – no real views except gorgeous trees everywhere. Our planned loop was curtailed when it became apparent that we needed to cross what is currently a fairly fast-flowing river so we retraced our steps back home and made it out of the forest with no ursine sightings. Only later did my husband tell me that he was pretty edgy too about bears and wished we'd had bear spray. That might have been wise!
On Saturday, we finally made it up to Bear Valley to cross-country ski. I did this for the first time a few weeks ago and LOVED it…this time I'd be taking my boys. The people at Bear Valley XC were super-kind and helpful and before long we were out on the pistes. The sky was grey but the overnight snowfall made it incredibly beautiful. We got into our groove fairly quickly and swooshed around the trails, before getting lunch and hot drinks in the gorgeous A-frame cabin. We headed out towards a meadow but the weather closed in quickly and we hightailed it out of there. Visibility got very poor and I was a little scared, got to be honest, (visions of the Donner party) but eventually we made it safely back to the trailhead. I really love cross-country skiing…it's so peaceful and beautiful. The Husband liked it but his heart definitely belongs to downhill. The Dude adored it…he sang the whole way round and kept saying 'This is awesome, Mummy'. I somehow seem to have unexpectedly got myself a ski-buddy!
And then, on Friday….there was a skiing miracle.
Not joking.
After 13 years of skiing…13 years of fear, frustration, rude words, tears and broken bones I FINALLY learned to do parallel turns. Now clearly most people learn this on day 3 of ski school in their very first week. However I have never ever been able to do it, despite weeks of ski-school, pizza-wedging my way down the slopes with screaming quads and little control. Before we left that morning, the Husband got me to watch a few videos and I learned two little nuggets that changed my world.
1 – I needed to start my turn much earlier than I was currently starting it. By the time I'd start turning, it was already too late.
2 – I needed to lean into the mountain as I turned.
It was a glorious day. I won't ski in bad weather but Sunday was perfect. We set off on the green slopes. I started my turns early. I chanted 'Lean IN to the mountain' every single turn and somehow I was turning. I glanced down at my skis. Parallel. I turned again. Parallel. I'd done it.
I have NEVER enjoyed skiing as much in my entire life. My legs didn't hurt, I wasn't scared, it was like flying. I tested my new skills on harder greens. Yep, still parallel. So we went onto a blue and boom, I was still parallel! We did those runs over and over again but the mental difference was incredible. I flipping loved skiing! I was finally a skier.
I know you might still be marveling that it took me 13 years to master something so basic and I know I'm making too much of this but seriously, I don't care. I am thrilled and beside myself with pride and relief! It's ironic that skiing clicked for me on the very last day of our California skiing life. Skiing for Brits entails a flight to Europe, it's not just a long drive in the car to Tahoe, so it'll be harder to ski in the future but I am honestly stoked to finally be able to do this and to be able to test my skills in the Alps next winter.
Thanks, California for the unexpected winter gift!

Marin County, CA, April 23rd and 26th, 2015 — Members of the Marin Professional Firefighters, IAFF Local 1775, along with the Muscular Dystrophy Association, will kick off the fire fighters' annual Fill the Boot fundraising campaign to help save and improve the lives of people fighting muscle disease in the Marin County area. Muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other related life-threatening diseases take away people's ability to walk, move, smile, talk and even breathe. More than 30 members of Marin Professional Firefighters, IAFF Local 1775, will fan out across the county with boots in hand for this year's drive on April 23rd from 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM at 3rd Street and Grand in San Rafael, at The Hub in San Anselmo, and at Vintage Oaks in Novato. On April 26th, they will be in Sausalito and Tiburon for the Opening Day on the Bay from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
"For more than six decades fire fighters have stood on the front lines for MDA, striving to make a difference in the lives of those affected by muscle disease," said MDA Fundraising Coordinator, Sara Boring. "Fire fighters in the Marin County area do more for MDA and the families we serve than any other group, dedicating countless hours of their time every year participating in Fill the Boot drives and at MDA Summer Camp. We're grateful for the support of these inspiring, selfless individuals who have made a profound impact on our families' health, wellbeing and quality of life, and we're excited to make this year's Marin Professional Firefighters Fill the Boot campaign the most successful yet."
